The Best Los Angeles Restaurants That Are Open on Monday Nights | Eater LA
"Chefs Ray Hayashi and Cynthia Hetlinger are dishing up modern Japanese and Taiwanese fare at perhaps the coolest South Beach opening in 2022. The former Laurel Tavern space now sports a snappy Tokyo-inspired cocktail bar and a menu featuring hits like tonkotsu miso ramen, Chinese sausage-stuffed fried rice, and Hokkaido milk bread. The Grandma’s Cigarettes are a slightly smoky take on a honey-lemon-ginger cocktail and are definitely worth ordering for first-timers. The weekend brunch service makes for a perfect pre-beach meal, with a pork tonkatsu sandwich, fluffy Japanese pancakes topped with blueberry compote, and rosé-style tteokbokki vodka sauce good for sharing. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland
